HTC announces mobile again; Desire 20 Pro and U20 5G

It’s been a while, but HTC has announced some new phones. In Taiwan it presented next to the Desire 20 Pro also the U20 5G. At first sight similar phones of which it is unknown if they will ever be for sale here.

Both phones are very similar but differ in size. The screen has a hole for the selfie camera, there are 4 cameras on the back and there you will also find the fingerprint scanner. Inside is a neat 5000 mAh battery. The HTC U20 5G has a smooth back while that of the Desire 20 Pro is ribbed.

The Desire 20 Pro

The unprecedented U20 5G has 5G support thanks to the Snapdragon 765G processor. The Desire 20 Pro has to make do with the slightly less powerful Snapdragon 665. The latter with 6.5 inch has a slightly smaller screen than the 6.8 inch U20. The same setup has been chosen for the cameras: 48 + 8 + 2 + 2 megapixels with a maximum aperture of f/1.8. HTC also chooses an ultra-wide-angle lens and a macro lens. Zoom seems to be missing.

Launch outside Taiwan

We haven’t heard a word about a launch outside Taiwan. It’s doubtful that will ever happen. In itself, HTC will have a good chance of success with an advantageous 5G phone, because there is not (yet) much competition in that area. First in the shop is the Desire 20 Pro. This has to be done on June 18 for an amount of 270 euro converted.
